Changes to ROE

ROE MUST:

• be modified to support 7-100 series doctrine (C2
nodes, Arty TTP, Logistics, etc)

• respect terrain (OPFOR doctrine emphasizes use
of complex terrain)

• respect all OPFOR BOS (Intel, Engineer, etc.; TTP
for collection, CLIV allocation, )

• respect OPFOR capabilities (360 fight, full
spectrum of weapons, etc)

• respect "free thinking and adaptive” (Continuous
ops, counter-attacks, boundaries, etc)

ROE MUST NOT:

• Impose time restrictions

• Seek to restrict or limit OPFOR (scenario defines

a nor “r fa i ISSUES^

■Training objectives are written so poorly that exercise
design is difficult.

■Task/Condition/Standard using AUTL.

* Condition based not outcome based.

• CTC experience is not "free lunch"

■Exercise design is done backwards RTW first, then to

tactical level.

■Build tactical piece around training objectives then
scope RTW to fit.

■OPFOR is constrained by CTC ROE to "give Blue a
chance to train." Non-COE compliant.

■CSA guidance "equal chance to win", "level playing
field" and "appropriate force ratio" not evident in all
events or exercise design.

■OPFOR as a thinking enemy or inanimate training aid

7

■

■Exercise director should not be higher HQs.

* Air to ground and ground to air interface. Air to air

Conclusions/Recommendations

* COE takes us in the right direction . ...now let's
resource it!

• Leadership needs to embrace it now .. .and enforce
it now!

• BLUFOR KSAs/Doctrine/training must catch up

* CTCs must configure & ready themselves to lead
